My job requires me to listen to Aztec Two step today. Actually, Rex, (the Step on the right, your left) is a friend of the store and dropped off one of his guitars for me to set-up today so i through on one ot their albums for inspiration...
"You do the bakin and i'll do the makin'...."
Nothing like well played acoustic music for me.

I just don't have any on my Ipod. Outside of my ipod, I've got 2112, Caress of Steel, Moving Pictures, Hemispheres, Retrospective, Vapor Trails, Rush in Rio dvd, and probably some more that I'm forgetting.

Seen Rush eight times back in my youth.
Before they were successful and definitely took some flack.
Geddy's voice is, after all, an acquired taste.
Is it just me or is he starting to look like a kitchen witch?
The latest show on cable (Palladium) was cool.
Anyone else have the B&W Ricky 4001 and the Ampeg SVT?
I was rockin' back then.[/QUOTE]
AWESOME!!Yes, Geddy's voice IS an acquired taste. The last several releases, he was somewhat lower in tone (as well as on his very good solo cd). But on Snakes and Arrows (their latest) he is back up in the 'high' range again. But, I have to say, S&N is a awesome release!
Glad you caught them early! :) I didn't till umm 1982? It was the Grace Under Pressure tour. Wow. Very impressed. Haven't missed a tour since, often multiple shows, but not always.
As someone already pointed out, Neil is a hard core RS rider.
The S&N live DVD is due out next week! :D
These guys just jam. They got caught caught up in mergers and take overs. I bought their first cd (this one) back when George H W Bush was president. They had a hit - Dizz Knee Land and it ROCKED! (they had a line 'I just flipped off President George' - (which I thought was ballsy)
So I bought the CD ~ wow - the whole disc just jams. Based on that, I bought their next CD, which was just as good, if not better. Hmm Bought the 3rd 4th .. SOLID. Went to find them on the web, and they had just decided to take a break. Guitarist has hand issues. Anyway, they started touring again and have released an live album and a EP. They all have solo projects. Anyway they jam. Buy this cd, buy it used. if you don't like it, I'll give ya your money back! (I have no affiliation with DADA at all, yada yada) [url]www.dadatheband.com[/url]
They have some pretty profound lyrics. I always loved this one: [I][B]"Can't this car go any faster .. .. Cuz I can still see where I am."[/B][/I]

I worked at MTV in the 90s and a they got a lot of attention, even against the rising juggernauts of Eminem, Aguillera and Kid Rock.
After their break they put out "how to be found" and I caught them at the Knitting Factory in 04. Great show.

Yea, the guys put on a great show! When they started touring again, I went all over to see them. The last 2 years they played late Oct/Early Nov at the Coach house in San Juan Capistrano. Was always a good excuse to visit family out that way. This year that show is either just before or just after Christmas. Had thoughts of making my maiden tour on the RT to see it, but that's a little ambitious me thinks. They are going to be out in Philly for New Years, and Boston just after. That's closer to me, so
that's the plan so far.
Nice to hear from someone familiar with them! Thanks for the insight!!

Yeah but Derek, do you think it's big enough? :lol :bolt
Sirius Bluegrass when I'm at home near the TV, McCountry on the radio, old time string bands when I'm in the shop near the CD player.
Something very bad.
The remote control's battery just died.
And I'm feelin' the big lazy.

Let's rodeo!
Was listening to some Stompin' Tom, "Bud the Spud, The Ketchup Song" which led me into Homegrown Tomatoes which led me to this.
Good stuff.
Been listening to older Greenday,The Buzz Poets,And of course the greatest rock band in history Rush!

Guy Clark sings one of my favorite lines
HeÔÇÖs born in Spain and died in France
He was not scared of baggy pants

I love this album. Significance not just in time and space but how I viewed music as a whole.
Maybe it was the incredible Sushi tonight (possibly one of the top 5 meals of my life and I know, ginger and wasabi sometimes has that effect) but I have not heard music made like this in a long time. When you heard this album the first time, there was no mistake, you found something new.
Late last night
I was speaking with my wife again
When she turned into a momur again
Tried to put me uptight again
She took me favorite guitar
And she smashed it on the floor
When she danced around on top of it,
I thought I might get sore
Just a little bit
sore . . . .

OK, here is a guy who went on to do a few TV soundtracks but this was his first band.
Remember Thirtysomething?

Or maybe you remember this.

Love the first CTS album, but [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_in_Numbers_%28Crack_the_Sky_album%29"]Safety in Numbers[/URL] has to be my favorite!

And speaking of [I]Close to the Edge[/I]... just returned to a pass of Bill Bruford's first solo album.
[IMG]http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/images/Bruf-FGtM.jpg[/IMG]
How can you beat this lineup? :D
Bill Bruford, drums and percussion
Dave Stewart, keyboards
Allan Holdsworth, guitar
Annette Peacock, vocals
Jeff Berlin, bass
[QUOTE=crazydrummerdude;390771]Nope. I've been down with Opeth since they released Blackwater Park. Even met the guys. They're cool.
Mayhem? Man, I'll bet we're some of the only ones in the MOA that know about bands like that. Haha. Can't say I really care for them, though. But, if you want some siiiiiick Scandinavian metal, check out Emperor, or specifically;
QUOTE]
Emperor is alright. What about Finntroll, Sentenced - both from Finland (some say that is Scandinavia, some not).
Lately I am getting industrialized: Rammstein, Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, Crystal Method, etc
I love me some early Alice Cooper. He had the best backing band hands down.

The live albums, (Either the authorized, complete with the William Tell Overture noodling or the unauthorized WBAB booty are terrific and capture the essence of this mostly unknown band.) I think John Palumbo went on and did at least one solo.
The entire collection is very difficult to find, I have bits and pieces.
Groovin' on Mose Allison
The only music I'm hearing today is coming outta one of these:

HEY! Cheap Trick fans (i've seen a few posts)
anyone digging this?

Well I guess I have been out of the loop, had not heard of the band and I missed the show at the Double Door. Quite honestly, I doubt I would have made the trip into the city.
Thanks for bringing me up to speed, Derek. Interesting personnel/combination.
